~ MEN ALSO WILLING TO LET THEIR BELOVED SEE A BETTER SELF OF THEMSELVES ~

In Yue Wang’s residence, Eunuch Cheng went back and forth a few times. After delivering the fragrant tea and snacks, he stood by the side and ground the ink, looking at Yue Wang’s expression with a hesitant expression.

“Uncle Cheng, if you have anything to say, just say it.”

“Your Royal Highness is truly wise. This servant indeed has some things that I want to say, but I don’t know if it’s appropriate for me to say them.”

“If Uncle Cheng feels that it’s inappropriate, then don’t talk about it.”

“As a servant, how could I possibly deceive Master? This servant better say it then. When did you invite Miss Mu here as a guest?”

Yue Wang paused for a moment, and the light in his eyes dimmed a little: “We’ll talk about it later.”

“Your Royal Highness, did you have an argument with Miss Mu? Should we get Hongyan to pass on the letter again?”

When the parrot in the birdcage outside the door heard Eunuch Cheng say its name, it couldn’t help but flap its wings and recite a poem. “Guan Jiu is on the River Continent. My fair lady and a gentleman is good...”

Yue Wang raised his head, and the gloominess in his eyes became even more apparent. “Let’s talk about it later.” These days, when he went to Ni Yun Fang, he saw that Mu Yunyao had prepared many gifts. Even Cao Yunnian’s son, Cao Zhiwen, had a new set of clothes, but he was the only one with nothing.

Seeing the look of Yue Wang’s expression, Eunuch Cheng was anxious and quickly gave a voice to persuade him. “Your Royal Highness, if an ordinary person raises a pot of flower, they have to water it regularly, loosen the soil, trim the branches and leaves on time, and even carefully fertilize the plant. They also have to be moved out to bask in the sun often. The flowers still have to be like this, not to mention humans. If people don’t take care of the flowers for a period of time, the branches and leaves will wither and yellow. Same with people, if people don’t meet for a period of time, their relationship might become distant...”

Yue Wang frowned. Just as he was about to say something, he heard a report from the door, “Your Royal Highness, Miss Mu has come ans has already entered the door.”

Yue Wang’s fingers pressed slightly, and the brush broke into pieces. He then stood up abruptly and walked towards the door. His dull eyes were filled with joy in the blink of an eye. His usual calm and composed look were nowhere to be seen.

Eunuch Cheng was stunned upon seeing the appearance of Yue Wang like this. He used to think that Yue Wang was a cold and steady man, but who would have thought that he would be like a kid after meeting Miss Mu. “Wang Ye, do you want to change into a new set of clothes? And hair, do you want to brush it again? Then for the crown, let’s change it to white jade, shall we?”

Yue Wang suddenly stopped and lowered his head to look at his black robes. He could not help but frown: “Uncle Cheng, please choose one for me.”

In this world, not only were women willing to dress up for the person they loved, but men were also willing to let their beloved see a better self of themselves.

Mu Yunyao followed Yu Heng into Yue Wang’s Palace. This was the first time, so she carefully looked up this place.

Yue Wang’s residence was very spacious, and because it was sparsely populated, it was especially capacious. This place was originally the residence of the Emperor’s Elder Brother, Qin Wang. After Qin Wang failed to compete for the throne, he was sentenced to guard the Imperial Mausoleum. After three years, he passed away, and the residence remained deserted. Later, Yue Wang was assigned to Western Guangdong. He should have his own mansion in the Capital. Thus, the Emperor simply repaired this place and gave it to him.

Qin Wang had once fought with the Emperor for the throne, and his methods were extremely harsh. Therefore, the Emperor was especially disgusted with him. Now that he had bestowed this mansion to Yue Wang, It is inevitable that people feel that the Emperor was dissatisfied with Yue Wang, which confirmed his unfavored reputation.

Yu Heng led Mu Yunyao to the main hall and had the servants serve tea before hurriedly retreating to the door to wait for Yue Wang to come.

Mu Yunyao took a sip of her tea. It was the Lotus Fragrance that she had asked someone to give to Yue Wang. It was just that the water used to brew the tea wasn’t quite good, and the method of making it wasn’t suitable either, which made this cup of tea lose a lot of colors.

Jin Lan originally wanted to help Mu Yunyao take off her cloak, but after feeling the temperature in the room, she gave up on that thought, “Miss, your servant will go to the carriage and bring the heater.”

Mu Yunyao shook her head, “There’s no need to go through all this trouble. It’s not that cold.”

After waiting for about a quarter of an hour, Yue Wang hurried over.

He had a white jade crown on his head and was wearing light blue robes. The collar and cuffs of his clothes were embroidered with cloud patterns. The light color set off his chilly appearance, making people’s hearts tremble slightly.

Mu Yunyao was stunned for a moment before regaining her senses. Usually, Yue Wang liked profound colored outfits. She had always thought that this person’s handsome appearance would be even more outstanding if he wore light-colored clothes. When she looked at it now, it was indeed breathtaking. “Greetings, Your Royal Highness Yue Wang.”

“Yunyao, I’ve made you wait.”

When Yue Wang arrived, Jin Lan and Jin Qiao left, leaving only Mu Yunyao and Yue Wang in the room.

The two of them were silent for a moment before Mu Yunyao took the lead and spoke first, “Your Royal Highness Yue Wang seems to be exceptionally different today.”

Joy grew in Yue Wang’s heart, and his eyes became gentler and softer: “Does Yunyao like to see me like this?”

Mu Yunyao’s ears turned slightly red, and she hurriedly changed the topic, “I’ve come here today to ask Your Royal Highness Yue Wang’ a favor.”

“What’s the matter?” When he saw Mu Yunyao’s expression, Yue Wang’s mood became even more joyous.

“I had a discussion with Grand Princess Yi De about giving porridge in the coming year. The Grand Princess was saying that she also wanted to donate some silver taels. I thought that if the Grand Princess were to intervene, the families of many officials would definitely be unable to sit still. Things would inevitably get out of hand, and it is not appropriate for Ni Yun Fang to take the lead. Therefore, I would like to ask Your Royal Highness Yue Wang to come to the Palace and report to the Emperor about this matter. I thought it would be better if the Emperor to send his Imperial Children to do this.”

“Yunyao, re you trying to give me credit?” Looking at Mu Yunyao, Yue Wang’s heart is full of warmth. He just thought she looked good everywhere, and no one could compare her.

“Your Royal Highness Yue Wang is overthinking it.” Mu Yunyao slightly tilted her head to look at the door and couldn’t help but rub her fingertips.

Yue Wang stood up and walked towards the door: “Yu Heng, bring two more charcoal pots over. The room is too cold.”

“Yes, Wang Ye.” Just as Yu Heng was going to find a charcoal pot, he saw Eunuch Cheng leading the servants over.

“Wang Ye, you rarely use charcoal pots, so the room is unavoidably colder. Miss Mu’s body is delicate and must be extremely unaccustomed. This old servant asked people to prepare charcoal pot. Do you think these are enough?”

When she heard this voice, Mu Yunyao couldn’t help but stand up and walk towards the door. Previously, she heard from Steward Qin that Eunuch Cheng had lost an eye in order to protect Yue Wang, and later on, his throat had been destroyed by medicine. Therefore, as long as he heard his voice, he must be Eunuch Cheng.

Eunuch Cheng raised his head and saw a young girl with a pink face like a lotus, looking delicate and graceful like gurgling water coming from the east. She was strikingly gorgeous, particularly her elegant breath, which made people want to hold it in her palm and take care of her carefully. The opposite of her breath, her pair eyes are exceptionally sharp. Even though she was smiling, there was also a hint of estrangement in the coldness.

“Greetings, Miss Mu.”

“There’s no need to be so polite, Eunuch Cheng.” Mu Yunyao took a look at Eunuch Cheng’s face. He had lost one of his eyes. Because he was old and his skin was loose, his eye sockets were wrinkled together. At a glance, he did look a little scary, but his remaining eye’s eyes were so clear, and his expression was especially righteous, making it evident that this person was not evil.
